Dressing the Ranks

You! Clown suit!
Clean off that grin!
And you! Bright-eyes!
Front and center!
Show me your papers!...
Just as I suspected:
A forgery! All of it!
And you! Newlywed!
What’s in that hand!
Violets?! VIOLETS?!
Fall out, princess!
You’re picking weeds!
Hold your positions!
Take off that panache!
Eyes forward!
To the mud...
MARCH!!!

I'm Michelle. This is my blog. I write about women and fatness, expound upon semi-coherent thoughts I have in the middle of the night, and offer tough love to those in whom I am disappointed; they are legion.
